Perovskite Semiconductors: Opportunities and Challenges for Photovoltaic Materials Design — •David B. Mitzi — Duke University, Edmund T. Pratt Jr. School of Engineering, Durham, NC 27708-0300 USA

Organic-inorganic and related halide-based perovskites (e.g., those based on Pb halide frameworks) have attracted substantial recent interest for solar cell and other optoelectronic technologies, because of the large optical absorption coefficients, high carrier mobilities, long minority carrier lifetimes, and relatively benign defects and grain boundaries. Indeed, these materials have enabled an unprecedented rapid improvement in photovoltaic (PV) performance to levels above 20% power conversion efficiency. Despite the great promise, challenges for the current generation of PV materials include replacing lead with more environmentally benign metals, improving PV device stability (moisture, UV and air) and controlling hysteresis. This talk will explore beyond the current focus on three-dimensional (3-D) lead(II)-based perovskites, to highlight the outstanding structural, chemical and electronic flexibility of the perovskite family. Particular focus will be afforded to systems in which divalent lead is replaced with other metal cations exhibiting a lone pair of electrons, such as Sn, Bi and Sb, since these systems share some of the beneficial electronic structure characteristics of the Pb-based systems. Further discovery within the perovskite structural and chemical space may offer prospects to solve the current technological challenges for perovskite PV and yield important opportunities for energy materials design.
